--- res: bibo_abstract: - "With the lithium-ion technology approaching its intrinsic limit with graphite-based anodes, lithium metal is recently receiving renewed interest from the battery community as potential high capacity anode for next-generation rechargeable batteries. In this focus paper, we review the main advances in this field since the first attempts in the\r\nmid-1970s. Strategies for enabling reversible cycling and avoiding dendrite growth are thoroughly discussed, including specific applications in all-solid-state (polymeric and inorganic), Lithium-sulphur and Li-O2 (air) batteries. A particular attention is paid to review recent developments in regard of prototype manufacturing and current state-ofthe-art of these battery technologies with respect to the 2030 targets of the EU Integrated Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) Action 7.@eng" bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Alberto foaf_name: Varzi, Alberto foaf_surname: Varzi - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Katharina foaf_name: Thanner, Katharina foaf_surname: Thanner - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Roberto foaf_name: Scipioni, Roberto foaf_surname: Scipioni - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Daniele foaf_name: Di Lecce, Daniele foaf_surname: Di Lecce - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jusef foaf_name: Hassoun, Jusef foaf_surname: Hassoun - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Susanne foaf_name: Dörfler, Susanne foaf_surname: Dörfler - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Holger foaf_name: Altheus, Holger foaf_surname: Altheus - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Stefan foaf_name: Kaskel, Stefan foaf_surname: Kaskel - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Christian foaf_name: Prehal, Christian foaf_surname: Prehal - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Stefan Alexander foaf_name: Freunberger, Stefan Alexander foaf_surname: Freunberger foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=A8CA28E6-CE23-11E9-AD2D-EC27E6697425 orcid: 0000-0003-2902-5319 bibo_doi: 10.15479/AT:ISTA:8067 dct_date: 2020^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/2664-1690 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: IST Austria@ dct_subject: - Battery - Lithium metal - Lithium-sulphur - Lithium-air - All-solid-state dct_title: Current status and future perspectives of Lithium metal batteries@ ...
